does different brands of petrol give u different mileage???

[BadgerBadgerBadger]

havent got a bike at the moment..

 

but it makes a difference for cars tho..

 

the choice u make will have to depend on the octane level and ur engine compression ratio..

 

eg lower compression ratio will not be able to effectively utilise the higer octane .. therefore filling up high octane fuel is kinda wasteful.. BUT you will feel some difference...

 

similarly,high compression engines will not tolerate low octane fuel..

 

i'm not too sure wats the compression ratio for bikes..

 

at this moment, i think all the fuels available should be the same as they all come from our local refinery.. shell is the only imported one i think..

ya...it does contribute a little to ur milage per tank but still alot of factors comes into the picture...

 

1) riding style

2) riding done most on small roads/xpressway

3) tyre pressure

4) is ur bike jetting/needle stock sizing

 

blah blah blah..

for my S4 verS diff brand give diff mileage

1) Esso/Mobil ~ 320km b4 reserve

2) Shell Vpower ~ 290KM b4 reserve

3) Caltex

By the way i pump in JB,seldom pump locally

[d0n]

my krr can reach 290km before going into reserve tank if i were to pump it till very full w/ JB Esso synergy F1

ever since when i have chance to go Jb...synergy F1 will be my choice~

[RageMyDream]

yes of cos

if not why so many diff grades around

[stsoh]

actually no as much as the way u ride your bike.

 

if u don't rev engine above 4k rpm during pickup speed n riding top gear at 80 kph, u can last longer distance with the fuel energy saved.

[redname]

anyone tried b4 petronas n synergy F1? wats the mileage diff between these two?

[dyerfix]

my krr reaches 380km before going into reserve...using jb caltex...don't know anything wrong wif the meter or not...but seems ok

[n00b]

so diff brand of petrol will giv us diff mileage...anybody tried petrol frm sg and know which gives most mileage??

[floppy]

his krr got secret compartments. either that, his boxes are all mod into reserve tanks.

part 1: obvious. diff brands diff mileage.

 

part 2: not so obvious. diff strokes for diff folks. likewise, diff fuel shows diff results in diff bikes.

 

(p/s: someone will surely say xyz brand is better zyx brand. well, like the krr that runs for 380km b4 a fuel stop... u take things said here with a pinch of salt)

[Wildboar]

[rweyen]

2nd link keep left after RnR Gelang Patah. Esso and Petronas Side by side. JB i think the nearest is bout after Jln Wong Ah Fook 5 or 6 traffic junctions you'll see one, thats my observation!
